      <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">This course studies the concepts of race, racism, and racialization, especially vis-&agrave;-vis feminist theory and practice. It is premised on the idea that race and gender, along with other systems of oppression, constitute one another in structuring social inequality. Drawing from interdisciplinary thought derived largely from feminist, trans-national, psychoanalytic, and critical race theories, the course focuses primarily on questions of power, knowledge production, subjectivity, and interlocking systems of oppression within local and global contemporary contexts. It seeks to provide students with opportunities to reflect upon anti-racist feminist practice and to apply critical race and anti-racist analyses. The course pays particular attention to the ways that appeals to compassion for anti-racist and social justice aims are limited and shaped by racialized, gendered, and national identities and understandings.<strong> <br>

We will consider what does the process of producing this body of knowledge and array of disciplinary practices entail for transsexual, transgender, intersex and other sexual minority communities as well as for better established academic formations that have taken trans people as objects of knowledge (Women&rsquo;s Studies, Lesbian and Gay Studies, Anthropology and Psychology, for instance). Though these are not questions that can be easily or definitively answered, as the terrain is much contested, and even the phrase &ldquo;Trans Studies&rdquo; may be out of vogue by the time the class is completed, they do provide an organizing principle as well as an occasion for auto-critique. With the question of disciplinary formation in mind we will view, read, think about and discuss a wide range of textual and cultural objects, figures, political issues, theories, groups and communities variously named transgender, transsexual, intersex, transvestite, trans.</p>

At the heart of this course are questions of gender, race, class and sexuality vis-&agrave;-vis diverse forms of tourism. While the course will explore a number of contentious themes and practices related to contemporary tourism including sex tourism and political tourism, it is especially concerned with engaging debate about the paradoxes of &quot;responsible&quot; tourism. Some of the specific questions explored in this course will include: </p>
      <ul>
          <li>how do tourist interactions with 'locals' shape subjectivities? </li>
          <li>How do tourists understand themselves in relation to the places they visit? </li>
          <li>how do gender, race, citizenship, and class impact the experiences of tourists? </li>
          <li>What are the possibilities and limitations of using responsible forms of tourism to challenge global inequity? </li>

This course, more specifically, focuses on sexism, racism, and class bias as they affect women when they are in conflict with the law and are victims of crime. We will critically analyze the factors that contribute to the creation and our understanding of female crime and to the victimization of women by and under the law. The course includes texts from both academics and women in conflict with the law, focusing on the lived experiences and testimonies of women in conflict with the law.</p>

      <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">This seminar explores the central concepts and theories in feminist cultural studies, as they inform feminist, post-colonial, queer, and post-structuralist understandings of culture.&nbsp; The focus is on women as cultural producers and subjects in/of various cultural texts (e.g. cinema, visual arts, music, advertising, popular media, feminist writings). The discursive construction of gender, as it is inflected by class, race sexuality and location, is examined as well as the ways in which it is used, displayed, imagined and performed in contemporary culture. Students develop practical and analytical skills, posing feminist questions of how particular cultural narratives function within social, political and economic contexts. Students are required to participate in and lead discussions of the readings and to create and/or critique cultural productions.</p>

      <p style="margin-top:0;">Critical disability studies offers the possiblity of viewing disability not as problem inherent to bodies but as a social contruction that dictates pity and suffering.&nbsp; As an exciting and emerging field of critical study, disability theory exposes the ways in which able-bodies are shaped and necessitated by dominant forces ranging from biomedical institutions to families, media, advertising, religious institutions, prisons,&nbsp;the miltary, educational settings, and the State.&nbsp; Using feminist theory, we ca begin to uncover the ways in which our bodies are encrypted through society and culture. We can put feminist theory into practice by exposing how as socially constructed bodies, &nbsp;disabied bodies become a site of activism, resistance, self-determination, and cultural production. This course will trace a broad range of feminist responses to ableism, considering a selection of topics from queerness and transgender studies, to new media, visual art, DIY culture, literature, and film, to transnationalism, class, age, and race. Investigating both the theory and practice of feminist disability studies, we can begin to view disability as a condition requiring reforms in social services, geographies and architecture, education, and cultural representation, demanding an interdisciplinary feminist focus broader than simple biomedical cures.&nbsp;</p>      <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p>

      <p style="margin-top: 0;">This course introduces students to Marxist thought as it articulates with (mostly) western feminism.&nbsp; As we will see, feminist engagement with Marx and Marxism has not rotely adopted Marxist concepts to analyze the so-called &ldquo;woman question&rdquo;.&nbsp; Rather, feminists have critically engaged the Marxist method of historical materialism in ways that reveal the crucial omissions in, and the limitations of, Marx&rsquo;s analyses of capitalist social relations.</p>
      <p>Feminists have extended Marxist concepts to politicize women&rsquo;s oppression &ndash; and the very existence of the category &ldquo;women&rdquo;.&nbsp; This course examines both the influence of Marxism on historical and contemporary feminist politics, and the ways that feminists have deployed Marxist theory to go beyond Marx in their theorizing of gender, race, and class relations.</p>
